Viewshed Analyses as Support for Objective
Landscape Assessment

Capacities of digital technologies, concerning support for decision making by providing experts
with numerical, objective measures, are still not fully utilized in landscape assessment and planning.
The paper presents a method that enables landscape factors modelling by applying viewshed and
landform studies. The results of the research in the form of maps may be easily applied in spatial analyses,
decisions on new investments, land management or monitoring changes over time.
